Can all proper sublattices of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ be generated cyclically?

Let $\Lambda \subset \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a proper sublattice (so that $\Lambda \ne \mathbb{Z}^n$). We say that $\Lambda$ is cyclically generated if there exists a matrix $M \in \text{GL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ ...

Cancellation theorem for lattices

By a lattice, we mean a finitely generated, free $\mathbb{Z}$-module together with a symmetric bilinear form. Typical examples are the hyperbolic lattices $U$ and the root lattices $A_{n}, D_{n}, E_{n}...

Intermediate lattices $C\mathbb{Z}^n \subseteq \Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$

Let $C \in \mathfrak{gl}(\mathbb{Z},n)$ be a symmetric full rank integer valued matrix (in my case it is the symmetric part of a Cartan matrix). Let $\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ be a full rank ...

On the laplacian of connected, undirected, multigraphs without loops

Let $G$ be a connected, undirected multigraph, without loops. Let $L_G = D_G - A_G$, where $D_G= diag (val (v_1), \ldots , val (v_n) )$ where $n$ is the no. of vertices of $G$ and $val (v_i)$ ...

Finding a particular kind of basis of subgroup of a lattice generated by non-negative part

For $\mathbf v=(v_1,\ldots,v_n)\in \mathbb Z^n$, let $\operatorname{supp}(\mathbf v):=\{j: v_j \ne 0\}$. For a subset $X$ of $\mathbb Z^n$, define $\operatorname{supp}(X):=\bigcup_{\mathbf v \in X} \...

Fourier transform on lattice strip

I am working with a triangular lattice $L=\{n_1 a_2 + n_2 a_2 : n\in\mathbb{Z}^2 \}$ and $a_1 = \pmatrix{1 \\ 0}$ and $a_2 = \frac{1}{2} \pmatrix{-1 \\ \sqrt{3}}$, and I want to compute the Pontryagin ...

Name for a pair of lattices one of which having theta series with coefficients a subsequence of another lattice's theta series coefficients

Is there a name for a pair of lattices which have the property given in the title (up to a change of variable)? The following example of a pair captures the property mentioned above: $$(i)\ 1 + 80q^3 ...
